Artist Nikolay Lamm created a 3D printed model based on the average 19 year old woman and compared it with Barbie's proportions. The result: Barbie's over exaggerated proportions are shocking.

Lamm created a 3D printed model of the average woman:


Here's the difference:


The mass production Barbie is 5 inches taller than the average 19 year old.


Did you know Barbie's 16 inch waist is smaller than her head?


Lamm's objective was to show that average is beautiful too.


Just take a look at the difference again:


Barbie's neck is also a lot longer.
